This clever repurposing of a semi-industrial building as a generous, light-filled workspace uses typical steel shed construction techniques and finishes them with sharp detailing and lush fittings. Remnants of the building’s previous life as a mechanic’s workshop have been revealed and paired with new walls clad in matt-white trapezoidal roofing. Luxurious full-height curtains and glass partitioning divide the space, creating a variety of meeting rooms. Unseen from the street is an accompanying network of rooftop solar panels that power the majority of the building, setting a high bar for similar commercial ventures.
